Shaded
from mid-April until harvest, the tea plants at the 'Ooishita en' (covered) fields
receive reduced sunlight. Freshly sprouted
buds are picked, steamed, then dried
without being kneaded.
Most people rarely have a chance to see Maccha (tencha)
in its original state since it is always ground when sold.
However, as the
flavor and color quickly deteriorate after being ground, manufacturers preserve
this type of tea in the non-ground tencha form.
Maccha is powdered tea and
unlike the Gyokuro and Sencha teas the drinker actually consumes 100% of the beneficial
nutrients by drinking the ground tea leaves. Maccha is rich in amino acids,vitamins,
minerals and catechin antioxidants. It is a highly desirable health drink and
many people drink this kind of green tea daily.
